To the extent that it provides these possibilities, the division of a document into
chapters makes sense in a variety of situations, not only when you are writing a
long work that contains “chapters” in the ordinary sense. For example, it could be
that you would want to change from portrait to landscape orientation in the middle
of a document in order to better accommodate a wide table.
To do that, you could insert a chapter break, set the paper orientation in the new
chapter to Landscape and then lay out the table. Following the table, insert another
chapter break and set the paper orientation back to Portrait, so that you can
continue the writing the main text in portrait format.
You will find details about working with chapters on the following pages.
Inserting and removing chapters
To start a new chapter, simply insert a chapter break in the text:
1. Move the text cursor to the position at which the new chapter should begin.
2. Invoke the Insert > Break > Chapter break command.
TextMaker now inserts a chapter break.
Note: TextMaker always performs a page break at the beginning of a new chapter.
Tip: The chapter in which the text cursor is currently positioned is displayed in the
“Chapter” field in the status bar at the bottom of the TextMaker window.
Removing a chapter break
You can remove a chapter break by positioning the text cursor at the beginning of
the first paragraph following the break and then pressing the Backspace key (æ__).
The chapter lying before the break is then integrated into the chapter after the
break and takes on the latter’s formatting.
Chapters and page formatting
Note: A different page format can be applied to each chapter of a document.
To recapitulate – a page format includes:
